Along with the arrival of United
States Marshal Msratta comes the in
formation that he has not resigned his
position and does not intend to resign.
This is what his chief deputy and con-
fdential secretary, j. 81. @. Young, says
and he is in a position to know the
marshal's intentions. The report origi-
mated in Washington and was not based
upon any act or utterance on the part

do not like the marshal and he let them
chew it.
